Vacancies:

Children and Young People’s Advocacy Worker

Committed to Ending Abuse (CEA), formerly Falkirk & District Women’s Aid, is seeking to recruit a part-time Children and Young Persons Advocacy Worker.

The post holder will carry a case load of those clients who are at risk of abuse and trauma and in need of advocacy support in relation to issues such as parental contact with the abusing parent, Children’s Hearings and other relevant interventions in which they need support.

The post holder will work supporting children and young people, providing safety planning, practical, and emotional and signposting support.

Applicants will have the ability to engage with children and young people, establishing relationships, eliciting views and aspirations so that children and young people’s views are accurately represented.

The post is based in our premises at Wellside Place in Falkirk and will commence as soon as possible. The post holder will require successful PVG clearance and will be expected to work closely with the adult and children/young person’s team. The post will be managed within our Stage 3 Community Services.

Please note that all annual leave must be taken during Falkirk Council school holidays as the post-holder must be available during term time to meet with children and young people.

CEA is a registered Scottish Charity and a Company Limited by Guarantee with a Board of Directors. CEA offers an inclusive service committed to ending all forms of abuse. We provide support to anyone regardless of age, beliefs, ethnicity, faith, gender, sexual orientation, and race.
